Sepsis

Newborns die at alarming rates in the developing world, nearly 3 million every year. Most can be saved with low-cost, low-tech interventions. This newborn care series brings alive these lifesaving interventions in a memorable and engaging way to help health workers learn and save newborn lives.

This film shows the baby with sepsis: what to look for to determine if the baby is sick and needs referral, or, in cases whether there is no referral option, how to treat the baby. The film includes examples of several babies with other signs of sepsis such as lethargy, convulsions, and poor feeding.

The intended audience is frontline health workers in the developing world.
